Magnifiek goed! Een resem kleine verhaaltjes, niet één minder dan uitstekend. De blurb van het eerste verhaaltje geeft al meteen een indicatie:
When Emperor Zombie threatens the safety of all life on earth, President Lincoln enlists the aid of a mechanical head. With the help of associates Mr. Groin (a faithful manservant) and Mr. Dog (a dog), Screw–On Head must brave ancient tombs, a Victorian flying apparatus, and demons from a dimension inside a turnip.
The Magician and The Snake and The Prisoner of Mars are two of the best comic stories I've ever read. It would be hard to argue this isn't Mignola's magnum opus.
